Which one? Does it count if you've swapped out most of the components?
The oldest one in my house is a gateway mx6959 laptop from 2006 or so which could almost be a legal adult today, my wife uses it to watch stuff at night in bed. Still has an integrated 56k modem lol.

My most recent rig was built in 2020. Or 2021. I don't remember exactly. I just know it was during the pandemic.

It's a Chaplet Systems Model LA-30A.

I think it came with 1MB of RAM and ran Windows 3.0. It has a monochrome screen that looks gray with blue characters, if I remember correctly. All I used it for was as a word processor, but it really didn't have the graphics for anything else. It looked old school for sure - think MS-DOS (or command prompt for those who don't know what DOS is anymore).
It's been a good minutes since I fired this baby up, but sometime, just for kicks, I think I'll give it a try at some point in the future.
